I'm 5 weeks out and I drink tons of liquid all day...have you always had this

or did it just start? I wish I knew what to tell you. I don't think its

suppose to hurt...you might want to call your surgeons office and see what

they think.

Pam,

This does not sound right to me and if I were you I would start

looking for a second opinion. It doesn't hurt to have a second

opinion from a reputable DS surgeon. It shouldn't hurt for you to

drink water. I have a few ideas. Is the water where you live hard

water? This could be part of the problem you might want to try

something that is filtered or definitely soft like a glass of Evian to

rule this out. Also does this happen with any beverage that you drink?

Liquids do not just have to come from water. Yes water is the best

source but some of us don't care for water that much. You might try

sugar free popsicles to help get your liquids in they are extremely

easy to tolerate and becuase it is just a litle liquid at a time it

might help. I am not a doctor so I don't know if this will work for

you but it is worth a shot.

I caught myself doing that...instead of chewing my food up I eat to fast and

then wash it down by drinking something. I decided that was the thing I

needed to focus on. I'm getting better! I'm starting to eat a bit slower

and catch that full feeling sooner!!
